Using Canon MF 4320 printer installed on Windows computer

Hi guys.
Is there any chance to use Canon MF 4320 printer installed on Windows computer? I am getting a Canon UFR II Printer Driver Error: -50.
Thanks for your help

I found it useful to install the software form the CD provided with the printer rather than downloading the drivers.  The download options were confusing with different drivers for different functions and the scanner did not work from the System Preferences > Print & Scan menu until I installed the software from the CD.
You should then download the current Canon driver for your printer, if it is supported on Mac OS X.
If all else fails contact Canon.
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/Telephone_Numbers/telephone_num bers.aspx
You can also email them at
Canon Care Center <[email protected]>
asking where to find the driver and if your printer is compatible with Mac OS X (and which versions of same).
I did not find an MF4320 listed on the Canon support site.
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
or support for Mac OS X for any MF printer
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/mac-osx
So it may not be supported but it is worth an email to Canon to find out.

    hi
    ideally if you want to print from the ipad you should have an airprint enabled printer:

    however, there are workarounds, you can download a decent third party app to print such as print n share, printcentral or printdirect

    You want system, data, backup etc. Make good use of the four internal drive bays.
    You will have to use Disk Utility to ERASE or click on drive and use PARTITION to make it Mac writeable.

  • Canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print

    canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print 
    I unplugged the cord that went from the printer to the computer to another canon printer to see if I could remediate a problem with a wireless printer.
    When I plugged the computer cord back into the usual computer, the printer is no longer talking to the computer even though I have gone in and changed back the settings, and it has been the default printer - that was not changed.
    I've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions to no avail.

  • New Canon Pixma MG2220 printer - install problems on Windows XP

    I bought a new Pixma MG2220 printer and received it 2 days ago. I followed the instructions and installed it from the provided CD on my 10 year old Compaq S4020WM desktop computer upgraded with 1GB RAM and 1TB hard drive running Windows XP SP3.
    The CD installation took a very long time to complete (maybe an hour or so) and things did not work right. In particular the My Image Garden software was very slow and sluggish to respond. So I downloaded and installed the latest drivers and software from the Canon website on top of the existing installation, which did not help. The My Image Garden software began crashing completely with an error message about a bad .dll file. After talking to Canon tech support on the telephone, the support tech admitted that this software CD was probably not compatible with my old XP computer. The My Image Garden software uses like 500MB RAM which is too much resources for my machine. So the rep had me uninstall My Image Garden.
    At that point I decided to uninstall everything and start over from scratch because something was obviously not right. For example, the Canon MP drivers were using 755 MB RAM, which seemed much too large. Obviously things had not installed properly from the setup CD, in general. The date on the setup CD was 2011, so apparently it was 2 years old, and long out of date!?
    So I uninstalled everything except the Canon registration and onscreen user manual. I also kept Windows Adobe RGB 1998 because I didn't see any way to uninstall it. I also uninstalled .NET 4 which the setup CD had said was necessary, as well as Microsoft XPS EP which My Image Garden had also told me was needed. Then I cleaned up my computer as well as possible with help of Revouninstaller and Ccleaner, which was necessary because things were very messy with many uninstalled remnants and incorrect registry entries. I feel lucky to have survived those tasks without having to reinstall my op system. It wasn't easy.
    Then I installed the following 2 modules (only) downloaded from the Canon website:
    MG2200 series MP Drivers Ver. 1.01 (Windows 8/8...         01/31/13     14.07 MB
    File Name: mp68-win-mg2200-1_01-ejs.exe
    This file is a driver for Canon IJ multifunction printers. You can install the following items of the software: MP Drivers: The driver for Canon IJ multifunction printer. IJ Scan Utility: The software that allows you to easily scan photos, documents, etc.
    *My Printer Ver. 3.1.0 (Windows 8/8 x64/7/7 x64/...         01/07/13     5.12 MB
    File Name: mypr-win-3_1_0-ea11_2.exe
    This file allows you to easily change the settings such as the paper source settings and provides you with information on how to solve problems such as ink smudging.
    I believe that's everything required to access all of the print, copy, and scan operations of this MG2220 printer. Based on my current understanding, I would classify everything else as optional. I use free Irfanview for editing and manipulation of images, which seems a satisfactory substitute for the other software.
    I did not reinstall .NET 4 or Microsoft XPS EP, because apparently they're only required if you install the My Image Garden and/or Quick Menu modules. I also did not reinstall the Easy-WebPrint EX module which apparently only applies to printing with the Internet Explorer browser, while I primarily use Firefox, Chrome, or Opera browsers. And of course I did not reinstall My Image Garden nor the Quick Menu, which were so problematical originally.
    On the bright side, the Canon MP drivers appeared to install correctly this time, using only 35 MB RAM (vs 755 MB previously). Also the Canon IJ Scan utility was reinstalled automatically as a part of that driver installation process. Those items have their own shortcuts. I found it useful to make one additional shortcut via Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > "Canon MG2220 series printer", to allow easy access to all of the internal printer settings and variables. Like I said, I believe this is all that's required, in addition to some image manipulation software such as Irfanview. I deal mostly with documents and never print photos nor use cameras. Those who have large photo collections and/or cameras may need something like My Image Garden or Easy-PhotoPrint EX.
    I previously used Lexmark printers for the prior 10+ years, where everything is controlled by software from the computer. I never had to use the buttons on the printer. That's obviously different with this Canon printer, which will take some getting used to.
    I'm disappointed that there's apparently no way to enlarge or reduce the % copy size with this model. Is there? I also don't find any setting for lighter/darker when making copies. Is there? There are apparently no other enhancements or filters available when copying. Are there? Similarly, scanning seems remarkably unversatile with this model and I can't find any way to set a scan for ligher/darker or apply various enhancements/filters. Are there?
    The printing seems OK, but I must still decide whether the very limited copy and scan options will be sufficient to my needs. I'm not sure yet. I might take it back for a refund and get something better, if I knew what was better. That's another research project. Suggestions?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Thanks for your info but the MG5420 is more than twice the cost at my local Walmart and Staples stores.
    I thought I was being smart to buy the MG2220 as a later model(?), but it looks like the prior model MG2120 has more copier and scanner features according to the online specs at the Canon website (see copies below).
    For example the MG2120 allows 25%-400% reduction/enlargement when copying, while the MG2220 does not. Can you verify this?
    Also does the MG2120 allow for setting copying to lighter/darker? (I don't understand that complicated technical lingo in the specs.)
    Thanks.

  • Canon Pixma MX300 Printer sharing through Windows PC

    I have a canon mx300 printer hooked up to a windows pc and share it wireless throught aiport extreme with a Macbook pro and Macbook. Thing is I can not use the CD that came with the printer to install the drivers on the MACS. They will not work when I try and connect to the printer throught the windows pc. I can not even find the Pixma MX300 on the mac printer list yet they sell it on the apple site.
    I have gone to canon site and downloaded the latest versions of the drivers but when connecting through the windows pc those versions still do not work. Only thing I have been able to do is try a preloaded driver found on the Mabook Pro/Macbook but they do not work 100%. Paper feeds funny and colors do not work correct. Any recomendations.

    The easiest thing to do is install Bonjour for Windows on the PC. Then, your Mac will be able to find and use the printer.
    However, from the Mac's point of view, the printer is no longer a Canon printer. It is a Windows printer and you have to go through the Windows SAMBE printer sharing features.

  • Access printer installed under windows 7 64-bit from windows xp 32-bit

    I have a CP1518ni attached via USB to a Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I'd like to use this printer to also print from another PC, a Windows XP 32-bit.  When I install a "network printer" on the XP machine, it says the driver is incorrect, probably because it is trying to pull a 64-bit driver over to the 32-bit PC.  I've tried downloading and installing the universal driver for XP on the XP machine, but it also says the driver is incorrect when I choose the CP1518 on the Windows 7 PC.  Can someone please point me towards a How-To article on this?  Or, must I attach the printer to my router in order for both machines to use it?

    Welcome to the forums! Are you trying to set the printer up to be wireless or just share the printer from the 64 bit computer to the 32 bit computer? You can share the printer from the 64 bit computer across your network. Here is how to setup print sharing:

  • Using a Printer from a Windows Computer

    Hi! I'm trying to get a USB printer that is hooked up to a windows machine on my network to work with my Mac. I've tried several ways to get it to work, but none have worked yet.Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    1) Open System Preferences, and click on Print & Fax. Since I don't have Leopard yet, I can't guide you though the exact dialog box (I know they eliminated Printer Setup Utility). I'll tell you what I did in Tiger and hope that it works in Leopard.
    2) Click the Plus button to add a new printer
    3) Select "More printers.." at the bottom of the dialog box
    4) Select Windows printing and navigate to the windows computer by double clicking on the workgroup, then the computer. You might be prompted for your Windows username and password
    5) Select the printer. At the bottom, select the manufacturer (Print Model: currently says "Generic") and the model. If the EXACT model isn't listed, check is it is listed at http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php3. If so, install Gutenprint (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3.) I'm not sure if it works with Leopard. Let me know if it doesn't. Gutenprint install addition print drivers. After the installation, repeat steps 1-4. This time, after selecting the manufacturer and the new drivers will appear at the bottom of the screen.
    6) Click Add.
    That's all I had to do (with some trial and error to figure out how to install the right drivers...then I found Gutenprint. Hope it works for you and let me know if it works in Leopard.

  • Printing through a Windows computer.

    I'm working on a 1GHz Power Mac G4 desktop that is connected with Ethernet to a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router. The printer is connected to a Dell Dimension 4300 by USB. The question for me is, even though I can get the printer to show up in my printer search list, I can't get anything to print off of it. Does anyone know a possible solution? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions about details or anything, just leave me a message. Thanks for your help!

    I have a Mac Mini running Leopard and I print through a Windows XP computer with printer sharing turned on. My printer is a Samsung ML-1710.
    The printer shows up in the network as expected, but initially I had a problem in which the job was sent, the printer spun up then stopped dead.
    I tracked the problem to the driver setting on the Mac, which had defaulted to Generic Postscript Printer. Since Leopard had no driver for the ML-1710, I got it from the Samsung website, installed it, and changed the print driver to the proper one. Then it worked fine.
    I guess the important thing is that you are running the correct driver for the printer, as unlike WinXP, it doesn't install a network printer driver for you.

  • Wireless Printing To A Windows Computer

    Hello I have 2 windows pcs with a usb switch to switch my printer between the two, without having to use a print server. The 2 machines are connected to my home network with a linksys wireless router. I just got a new Macbook and i can't figure out how to print from it on my wireless network. Is there any way to do this?
    Btw I'm not a mac noob i had an ibook g4 before this and have had many a mac.

    If the printer has no wireless function of its own, then you will have to connect to the printer share on the Windows box. Now, since you are switching between the printer between two PCs, you will need to have two printer queues on your Mac, one for each Windows printer share. Or, if you only want one PC to share the printer, then you will have to remember to switch the printer to shared PC (unless the USB switch has built-in smarts that lets it change automatically).
    Once you have created the printer share (make sure the name is short and without spaces) on the Windows computer, you should be able to open System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the + to add a printer queue. Then select the Windows icon to display the Windows share. Generally you will share the Workgroup name in the first pane and selecting this will show the computers in that workgroup. After selecting the PC sharing the printer, you may have to authenticate using your Windows account to see the printer share.
    When you see the printer share and select it, the Mac will look for a printer driver. Now for a number of machines, the vendor supplied driver will not work with this type of connection, so you will have to look at using a compatible driver like those supplied by Gutenprint. If your printer is newish, then you may have to download the latest version of Gutenprint to get support for your model.

  • How can I print with a Windows computer through the AirPort?

    Basically, I'm a college student in a dorm room with a wireless HP printer. I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with Snow Leopard and my roommate has an Asus Eee PC with Windows XP. I use an Apple AirPort Express router and print through it with my computer wirelessly. Is there any way my roommate can print wirelessly from his computer? So far, I haven't figured out how to set it up and he just uses my computer whenever he needs to print something.

    Since the printer has its own wireless built-in, as opposed to it connecting via USB to the Airport Express, then there shouldn't be an issue for the Asus to connect to the printer, providing it can connect to the Express also via wireless.
    Unless someone here knows otherwise, I suggest you check the HP web site in case there is an additional utility required for XP to add a network wireless printer.
    Usually, a network printer is added by selecting Local Printer, rather than Network as this is looking for server shared printers, and then you create a New Port and select Standard TCP/IP for the port type.

  • Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
    I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
    Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

    I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
    http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
    http://www.printfab.net/
    You may find it easier to share from OS X.

  • Questions on Drivers & printing to networked Windows computer (CANON)

    I'm trying to print over a network, to a CANON printer connected to a Windows PC.
    My initial attempts resulted in the document being printed 75% smaller on the upper left corner of the page only. (Margins etc. are all fine).
    Sounded to me like a driver problem, so I downloaded the latest driver for OS X(from CANON). I installed the driver, but now, when I try to setup a new printer, I still can't see my printer model (ip5000) in the available list. (The options are either Generic or one of the gimp drivers that came with OS X).
    Where did it put the driver? - How can I make the printer use it?
    And, how do you un-install a driver? (in case it doesn't work)
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    The drivers for the Canon PIXMA range of printers are not designed to work across a network, they are for direct USB connections. As has been mentioned numerous times in this forum, if you want to print to a Canon BJ printer that is networked, ex. shared by a Windows PC, you need to use the CUPS (GIMP) drivers that are included with the OS. The only exception to this is for the R series of the PIXMA printers, which have an Ethernet and wireless connection. There is a Canon network utility that redirects the spooled file to the remote printer.
    Try using the S800 GIMP driver. You will have to open the driver properties and set it to Text to get good quality printing.
    Better still, download the latest release of Gutenprint 5.0.0 and use the iP4000 driver. It works nicely to my iP5200R hanging off an XP SP2 box.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Not able to use HP Solution Centre after installing on Windows 7

    Widows 7 Office Jet 6500 N
    I have reinstalled drivers on 6 occasions, each time a diffenetnt problem. I now have it installed to work on a network and all seems OK except  I have no Solution Centre only HP Document Manager.  It asks me to complete the installation by connecting a USB cable. When I do that it gives me full HP Solution Centre but messes up my printers, insatlling Copy1 and I find I cannot print again. (I have also installed on a XP computer on the same network without any problems, all works properly with Solutions Centte etc)
    Any ideas if I can have the HP Solution Centre as well please
    Thanks  Robert

    Hi
    Thank you for your reply.
    I am not sure that it actually answers me problem.
    I now have the printer and Windows 7 computer set up and working.  The only way I can work the printer for scanning etc is thorugh an icon called HP Document Manager which whilst fine it does not have the refinements that I have ben used to when using the icon HP Solution Centre in the past.  This allosw easier usaeage of scannong etc, ink levels, settings and so on. It is this that I would like to reinstate.
    I am not using a Wireless Network rather a Wired Network
    Thanks
